Thanks @wcp.bsky.social for letting me interview rapper Ruby Ibarra (winner of the @npr.org 2025 Tiny Desk Contest! It was life to talk to with someone I've admired for so long, who represents the immigrant experience fearlessly.

I will a personalized letter from your ex, apologizing for everything they did wrong in your relationship with them. You just tell me their name, and I’ll take care of everything else. This letter won’t be entirely accurate, but it will make you feel better.

This is just one of the many reasons I love One More Page Books & More. If you’re a fed worker based in the DC area, come to the store this Friday. They got something for you, and you deserve it.*
